P&I Inspections

A critical element of P&I

Vessel inspections and risk assessments are a critical part of overall loss prevention measures for most major International Group P&I clubs in the modern international shipping industry.

Most clubs work hard to establish inspection frameworks and condition assessment criteria which are applied to their considerable fleets, but often lack the global reach and overall resource capacity to execute these inspection campaigns. It is crucial for the clubs' underwriters that their insured risks are minimised and any sub-standard tonnage is identified and where possible, improvements are made in close cooperation with their shipowners.

The Idwal Grade is an industry recognised measure of asset integrity, programmatically calculated from over 500 individual data points, captured during a standardised inspection process.
